Tom, I tend to think your 1990 figure is wrong. I think it was closer to 5.3
billion in 1990.

Apple net sales (from the 1992 annual report):

1992 - $7,086 (thousands)
1991 - $6,308

That's quite a jump in '91, from 4 billion to 6.3 billion -- more than 50%
increase. That's why I think your number is wrong.
